MakerBot Revives The Cassette Tape As A 3D-Printable MP3 Player [Video]

Mix tapes used to be the way you shared the music you loved with people. There was an art to it. Picking just the right songs, in just the right order, so that it got your message across. In todays digital world, the cassette mix tape is a thing of the past. The folks over at MakerBot have come up with a pretty cool way of bringing the mix tape back.

From Dvice.com -  "At first glance, the MakerBot Mixtape looks like a cassette tape, but it doesn't actually have any well, tape, in it. It's actually an MP3 player that has 2GB of storage, buttons for play/pause, forward, backward, etc. an, a four hour rechargeable battery, a 3.5mm audio jack and a USB cable."

"The main allure to the MakerBot Mixtape is that you can print up different colors and designs with your own 3D printer. Outside of the infinite amount of possible customizations, it's really no better than even the cheapest MP3 players in the clearance bin at Walmart."

Now, all you need is a 3d printer!
